Development: A new hometown forward leaves the Montreal Canadiens, and it is Joël Teasdale
We had always hoped for a turnaround in the situation for the Montreal Canadiens, but unfortunately, that is not the case.
In an intriguing interview with Simon-Olivier Lorange from La Presse, hometown forward Joël Teasdale has confirmed his departure from the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Not qualified by Kent Hughes and currently an unrestricted free agent, Teasdale could have reached an agreement with the Habs, but that won't be happening.
Based on the interview, it's clear that his time with the team has come to an end.
"The Canadiens are my childhood team, so of course, I would have liked to continue with them." - Teasdale
